Array ( [sid] => 71987 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Depression [time] => 2004-11-17 18:06:44 [hometext] => It's about my personal struggle with depression [bodytext] => What's this thing I feel?
Why does it control my life?
I feel like I want to die,
Yet I haven't even lived.
I hunker down into a corner
And cry until I can't cry anymore.
One month I'm happy as can be,
And the next I'm swallowing handfuls of pain pills
Trying to numb the pain.
This disease is like looking
Through a black tinted window.
The person on the outside
Can't see what's going on inside.
Walking the streets alone
Seems like my only escape.
And cutting on my arms
Seems like my only salvation.
Even eating can feel like torture,
For it feels as if I'm making myself survive.
Starving makes me feel so good,
But binging and purging feels so much better.
It's the only release,
For me to purge away the tension.
A simple smile can be
The most torturous strain you've ever seen.
The world looks so dark and lonely.
Is it really?
Or is it just my perception
That makes everything look so black?
My whole life feels upside down
And I begin to fear that
It will never be normal again.
I want to be happy.
I want to look back on my life
And say that I had fun.
But I know that I never will.
All I want is to be loved
And not to be ridiculed.
Just because I have
Depression.
